The relationship between the decay constant (λ) and the half-life (t1⁄2) is given by the equation t(1/2) = 0.693/λ. Use the equa

tion for N to derive this relationship.
Hint: when t = t(1/2), N/No = 0.5 (1 point)

A sample of carbon-14 initially consists of 5 × 1024 particles. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years.

b. How many radioactive particles of the sample remain after 100 years? (1 point)
c. What percentage of the radioactive particles remains after 500 years? (1 point)
d. How many radioactive particles of the sample remain after 1000 years? (1 point)
e. How much time will it take for 50% of the particles to decay? (1 point)
f. How much time will it take for 99% of the particles to decay? (1 point)
g. How many half-lives will it take for 99% of the sample to decay? (1 point)
h. What is the initial decay rate of the sample? (Answer in decays/yr.) (1 point)
i. After 200 years, what is the decay rate of the sample? (1 point)
j. How long will it take for the decay rate to decrease to 1015 decays/year? (1 point)
k. How many half-lives have passed after the time you found in part (j)? (1 point)

The picture shows an orange falling from an orange tree
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A but not 100% certain.

Explanation:

you can eliminate C since it doesn't mention gravity, and B says gravity is pushing up on the orange. I think it is A because friction is going against the orange because it has to pass through the air, and that creates friction. I think that is the reason why things burn up when they enter the earths atmosphere.

Consider a rubber rod having been rubbed with fur to give the rod a net negative charge, and a glass rod having been rubbed with
butalik [34]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The rubber rod having been rubbed with fur get a net negative charge thereby gaining more mass which means the mass has increased compared to before it was rubbed against the fur while the glass rod having been rubbed with the silk to give it a net positive has lost mass and therefore has less mass compared to before it was rubbed on the silk.
